c. Approve related budget resolution (Craig Stevens, Fire Chief)

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Save Crystal River - Kings Bay Restoration Project for Fiscal Year 2027, proposed by Save Crystal River, Inc. The project aims to continue providing Mechanical Maintenance Services and will add a new service for Planted Submerged Aquatic Vegetation. If approved, funding of $315,000 will be included in the FY 26/27 budget. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The project would involve site preparation for aquatic vegetation planting, ongoing mechanical maintenance of existing systems, and potentially specialized aquatic landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as aquatic vegetation supply, specialized maintenance equipment, and environmental services could find opportunities. Early engagement before final budget and contract details are set could provide a competitive advantage.
